chuck still performs in his hometown once a week and flies out to gigs. he is 80 years old and wil still put on a hell of a show.
I like "too much monkey business" and "maybellene" because of the way theyr rock and swing at the same time. I like how he will screw with the meter and riff it up real fast and then bring it slowly to match the band.
HAIL HAIL ROCK N ROLL, the docu film about keith richards putting together a top notch band to play with Chuck on his birthday is a blast. Berry is an ornery mo-fo!
There are some segments in that movie where it is just chuck playing his guitar and he is playing jazz songs, and they are so goddamn beautiful. amazing guitarist.
